Abstract

Changes in cerebral perfusion during migraine with aura (MA) have been assessed mainly using dynamic susceptibility contrast (DSC) magnetic resonance perfusion imaging. A contrast agent-free method to assess these changes would be desirable. We assessed changes in cerebral perfusion during MA using arterial spin labeling (ASL) perfusion magnetic resonance imaging. We investigated 4 patients with a standardized protocol including ASL perfusion imaging during MA (n = 2) or early headache phase (n = 2) and asymptomatic follow-up. Semiquantitative evaluation was done using a region of interest (ROI) within hypoperfused or hyperperfused areas and corresponding ROIs in the contralateral hemisphere. Relative ratios of mean perfusion in the corresponding ROIs were calculated. DSC imaging was done at initial time points and compared visually with ASL findings. In all patients, regional perfusion changes were detected in the acute phase. These abnormalities did not respect the boundaries of major cerebral vascular territories but overlapped onto adjoining regions. During MA, adjacent hypoperfused and hyperperfused areas were found, whereas during headache, regional hyperperfusion only was observed. Perfusion abnormalities normalized on follow-up. ASL perfusion imaging is a contrast agent-free method suitable for assessment of reversible perfusion changes during or immediately after MA.

Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 2. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 15 June 2018.
All research outputs
#15,523,434
of 25,382,440 outputs
Outputs from Journal of Stroke & Cerebrovascular Diseases
#1,422
of 2,928 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#244,034
of 451,175 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Journal of Stroke & Cerebrovascular Diseases
#19
of 48 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,382,440 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 37th percentile – i.e., 37% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 2,928 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a little more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 6.5. This one is in the 49th percentile – i.e., 49% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 451,175 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 44th percentile – i.e., 44% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 48 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 56% of its contemporaries.
